The Whale

Like old Ahab crossing the sea
Aint found no fish yet worthy of me
Hear Jonah’s doorbell ring monologue
Dredge me up soon, been sleeping too long
Been dreaming too long

Take me back to the sea my friends,
My friends back to the sea to see my grave
I saw my grave

And there ain’t no better place for me to sleep.

Oooh. The Whale.

This one is a jumble, It hasnt been through my religious scrutiny & optimization mode. Maybe that makes it more honest. just sort of the words as they happened. As far as meaning... aside from thinking about the saying "there are other fish in sea," I dont have anything. that makes it more like Ocean Eyes, and less like the other songs.. much less about anything concrete, and just the mood of the song is the point. If there is one.

Captain Ahab, Jonah, Whales.

what a thought process

--------------------------------------

lots of thinking. lots of speaking. lots of listening. maybe some writing later.

going to watch House with luke, it's his favorite.

Is it a law of the universe that troubled people are the most productive?
Maybe real happiness only works if it's rarely within reach. I hope the world doesnt work that way.

Funny observation: when you matter to someone, being up front with them doesnt offend them. in fact it's beneficial. so then all the worry you build up was without cause. or does the worry make the relief sweeter? anyways. it seems like, once you get your foot in the pool, the apprehension fades pretty quickly. Wasn't much sense in being worried. and folks who care about you welcome being open. and then you learn about them.

i guess things like that sound nice, but then dont really connect until you take the plunge. or get pushed off the diving board - some of us need that.

then there's that moment when all the things pile up in your mind, and you have to decide whether you'll take the opportunity or walk by it again.

you're born with these people around you, and you never know who they are. and then it turns out, you never asked. But my curiosity is piqued.

time to watch House with my brother. he was just saying how he doesnt really like scifi like me and dad do. i didn't know that either.

now he says at least we all like medical dramas

time for hulu

Ocean Eyes

This is an older one of mine.

Now with drums, and bass, and whistling.

guitar was strangely out of tune (as far as a tuner is concerned) when i recorded it and the vocals. so i had to try to get the bass in a matching state of out of tune, it isnt quite on - which grates on me a little. but overall, I'm pretty pleased with myself :)

Ocean Eyes

VERSE 1
Well the cracks in the sidewalk are staring at me
With the green in the gray that just wants to be free,
Well I know how you feel, if you’re feeling like me
You’re hopeful

Yeah the holes in the plaster are staring me down
Well it starts when you’re nervous, and ends when you drown
See my breath all in bubbles, and floating around
Yeah, I’m hopeful

CHORUS
Well this hook in my lip
Is pulling me in

VERSE 2
With your soul in her pocket, how deep does it go
Tell me are you the rabbit, and is she the hole
Well what starts with a kiss and it ends with broken bones
Bloody nose

BRIDGE
Breathe deep ocean eyes (X3)
Don’t you need to save him?

CHORUS
Well this hook in my lip
Is pulling me in
